The Candidates:
Michele Bachmann

Herman Cain
Cain is the former chief executive of Godfather's Pizza and former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He lost the Georgia Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat in 2004. He was recently the host of Atlanta-based radio show.
Newt Gingrich
Gingrich served as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999. He represented Georgia's 6th congressional district as a Republican member from 1979 to 1999. He has a PhD in modern European history.
Ron Paul
Paul is serving his 11th full term in the U.S. House. Hes an ob-gyn and was Libertarian nominee for president in 1988. He unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for president in 2008
Rick Perry
Perry is the three term governor of Texas, from 2000 to current. He is a retired Air Force captain for former farmer. He has a degree in animal science.
Mitt Romney
Romney was governor of Massachusetts (2003 to 2007) and former CEO of Bain Capital, a private equity investment firm. He unsuccessfully sought the Republican 2008 nomination for president. He has an MBA (Harvard) and JD (Harvard Law).
Rick Santorum
Santorum served two terms in the U.S. House and two terms in the U.S. Senate. He became the Senate's third-ranking Republican in 2001. He was defeated for reelection in 2006.
Obama is immature and empty, Gingrich is mature and at his full powers. That would NOT be interesting as a debate. It would be awful.
It might even be like the awful match between world champion boxer Muhammad Ali and the strange pro “wrestler” Antonio Inoki, June 26, 1976 in Tokyo. A DRAW! For 15 rounds Inoki laid on his back and kicked at Ali. Ali landed only 6 punches. The low kicks damaged Ali permanently.
When I used the paper towel versus tsunami analogy I wasn’t kidding. The analogy works both ways. Newt is vastly superior to Obama in knowledge, maturity, logic and normal debate skills.
But Obama can just lay on his back and kick at Gingrich, like a tsunami wave only a foot deep can destroy much of a town. Obama will pour out words and words, each phrase sounding good, but no sentence making much sense and no paragraph making any sense at all.
Should have stayed quiet, retread Rudy/Romneybot NYC-Conserv. ZOT!

If you could predict the future with any certainty you should go to Vegas. But you can’t. And frankly, your opinion means squat.
“I dont hate mormons, not at all. I dont agree with mormonism, but that is definatly NOT why I dont like Romney.”
Yeah, right.....
Perry will be our next POTUS!!!
Interesting I did not take it that way when Perry said that.
“Where did Cain serve?”
Cain served as ballistics expert for the Department of the Navy for 6 years, so your boy Perry could actually hit what he was aiming at.
Amen.
Boy, you need your glasses and hearing aide adjusted.
Well he did manage to string three words together so it just might be true. :-)
Don’t like Romney but that is an extremely petty accusation against him, reminds me of some of the false and petty accusations against Perry ...
Okay, one more LOL! and I need to sign off.
That post was really well done!
Cain They landed a few blows and he wasnt at the top of his game tonight, but he didnt hurt himself much.
Mitt Hes gotten much quicker with his BS, but he still looks like a child trying to play president. He reminds me of one of the kids in adult clothes in those old Frosted Mini Wheats commercials.
Perry Best debate yet for Rick, but that isnt saying much. The RINO battles with Mitt made them both look stupid. And the similarity with the bickering that occurred with Santorum and Mitt made him look like a smaller candidate. He got in a few good lines, but good Lord, is he having seizures in the middle of every sentence or what? Someone check that man for TIAs.
Newt The greatest guy that nobody wants to vote for.
Bachmann Was playing Miss Priss while everyone attacked each other, except when she took shots at Cain. She came across as desperate, whiny, and annoying.
Santorum Good show. He had much less to lose than Perry did by going toe to toe with Slick Willard. If he hadnt lost PA by 20 points, he might be worth examining further.
Anderson Cooper GAY. But, while the debate format was pretty bad, he did the best job as moderator Ive seen in a debate so far this cycle.
Your right, I should have said Perry definitely had his best debate so far.
Good points, and all points that Mr Perry knows well.
FUBO!
Wow. CGEB-style! Cool.
No way. SMART people get the apples and oranges analogy. I do — it’s simple, and logical.
Right now we pay state taxes, and yet STILL deal with the enormous hairy crazy tax code on top of it.
Cain’s plan replaces the hairy tax code w/ something ELSE. End result: your’e going to pay less overall than you would have before, even w/ the same state sales tax in place.
Mitt’s the stupid one w/ his fruit basket analogy. He doesn’t get it, and neither do the stupid reporters.
I saw your first post and it is still as stupid as it was the first time. You throw out a blanket attack and seriously don’t expect people to inform others that would be included?
I guess I shouldn’t expect more than that from Christian haters like you.
And you are proving the maxim true...cheerleaders don’t have any brain cells.
Cain didn’t “serve”, he makes a point to correct people who use the word. He was a civilian employee of the Navy. And Perry didn’t “hit what he was aiming at” other than the runway. He flew transports.
